My ford Taurus is acting odd, I have already put $100 by now in sensors being replaced. I replaced the velocity sensor, Gear selection solenoid, and Throttle Position sensor. The problem i still have and have had since the beginning is that every time i am going up a hill, it will start up fine until it hits 3500 RPM's or 25 MPH it will act as if it goes into neutral or if the it went out of gear, it just have the engine rev. The transmission does not slip. I need an answer as I am very frustrated with ford. Thank you

DESCRIPTION
4F50N TRANSAXLE NO 1-2 UPSHIFT AND DTC P0732
ISSUE
NOTE:This article supersedes TSB 04-15-12 to update the vehicle model years.

Some 2004-2005 Taurus/Sable and Freestar/Monterey vehicles, may exhibit a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0732 and a no 1-2 upshift condition. This may be due to an intermediate clutch piston seal becoming torn or loose (de-bonded) from the piston.
ACTION
To service, perform normal diagnosis per Workshop Manual. If the cause is determined to be internal to the transaxle, inspect the intermediate clutch piston seal. The outer clutch seal is bonded to the piston. If the seal is torn or loose replace the piston. Inspect the intermediate clutch plates and replace if necessary.
